I have to disagree (and not just for the sake of it, but really!)
You signed up to a 7MB Package? What kind of package is that? And besides, since launch, Orange have provided 'unlimited' GPRS for £6 per month (~$9), which is now coming to an end.
My phone simply does not hang. I use it with a huge range of software, including dodgy stuff like the freeware emulatoirs, and it doesn't hang.
You occasionally will get a busy cursor, but it really is only occasionally, and it will disappear after a second or so.
I have the P800 too, and an XDA and a 3650, and for me personally, the SPV beats them all hands down.
Much more usable as a phone device (a keypad, T9 etc.), and more stable than my P800, which comes up with a weird graphical screen telling me to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds VERY frequently.
I too have been with Orange since the very beginning (Nokia 2140!), and feel that although the SPV launched perhaps a little early (before all the problems were ironed out), it is fundamentally a good phone.

The Qtek7070 (I have one), is slightly bigger, has the same battery (hence same battery life), is no lighter, and has the same software.
The difference is a nicer keypad and a much brighter screen!
